Summary

In this case, HHJ Wilcox QC criticised what was presented as a very sophisticated 'impact analysis' by stating that the results gleaned from such an analysis were 'only as good as the data put in'. He went on to criticise the computer project as 'complex' and 'rushed', and held that the Court could have no confidence in its accuracy.
